Case Study
Page 36
Reality:
Paul never paid much attention to his dreams until he and his wife Christine began to drift apart after seventeen years of marriage. Their problems built up so gradually that they were hardly noticeable. There were no real fights: superficially they still seemed to get along well, even when handling minor crises together, but the passion that once kept their relation buoyant was slowly being snuffed out. Intimacy and sex became almost non-existent. When Paul was promoted at work, he celebrated with friends, and Christine did not learn about his promotion until two weeks later.
Christine began feeling increasingly empty. It was as if she and her husband were no longer friends and lovers they had once been, but merely two people keeping house together. She tried to discuss her feeling with Paul and her parents, but was always rebuffed. No one understood her growing discontent because, from the outside, their marriage seemed solid. She was told that no marriage is perfect and that she ought to be thankful for what she had. For his part Paul thought that she was overreacting and refused to take her seriously, especially when she asked if he was having an affair. With nowhere to turn, Christine felt as if her spirit was slowly being drained of its life.
The Dream:
The Paul had a very important dream. He saw Christine leaving home be herself to go hiking into the mountains in the middle of the winter. Although he thought it curious that she would go alone and in suck cold conditions, he did not pay attention. Then what seemed like weeks or maybe months passed and she never returned home. He mentioned the trip to her family but that also seemed unconcerned. He was considering going off to look for her, but he was too busy, so he brushed aside the idea that she might be in danger. Then Paul had a dream inside a dream: he saw his wife lying silent and still, face down in the snow, growing blue with cold. He knew that if he did not immediately rescue her, she would die. He awoke with a panic.
